Ask the guy at the bar for Chicka's drink. You are welcome.
At security, choose a middle line. They go 3x faster than edges where TSA spends half time checking, half time herding people..
Mandy JenkinsApril 13, 2014There's no wifi of any kind in concourse A, because this is apparently an airport of the past.
Katherine GoldmanMarch 20, 2011Potbelly's: got a small sandwich, 2 drinks and a bag of chips for under $10. Yummy yummy!
Watch out for the grab and go kiosk by gate A4A...its the only "cash only" place in the friggin airport!
Clarke MacbethJuly 7, 2014The best part about flying through Midway is that you're not flying through O'Hare.
Lisa LOctober 12, 2013Empty travel water bottle fill station only in the first section of the b terminal. All else just regular water fountains
Give yourself plenty of time, Midway has the longest security lines.
Welcome to Chicago. Please enjoy the 45 minute wait for your bags.
Matt MyersOctober 15, 2018Don’t come here hungry. Nowhere good to eat, or sit for that matter. And make sure your stuff is charged!
Other than not having Pre-Check and no Sky Club, this airport is better run and a better design then Ohare. It also has way better food options and great customer service.
If you are heading to the suburbs via taxi 303 Taxi gives the best service and reasonable rates!!
There is a Red Mango hiding past B19. Tasty and healthy parfaits and smoothies
They took out the Potbelly and now there’s no good spots for a bite here.
If you have a early AM flight. Get here at least 90 minutes prior to your check-in. Wait for security 30 minutes.
Dilara SultanSeptember 26, 2010If you don't have friends/associates picking you up, GET A LIMO! The expanse is not terribly greater than a taxi, but you can strech those legs after your plane ride.
MargueriteAugust 8, 2011Make sure you buy your meal or whatever before you get to the isolated gates A4A and A4B
Anita at One Shot BoardsJune 12, 2012need to arrive 2 hr early. security lines have gotten worse. And ladies, don't wear heels, your killing your feet. Put the heels on when you arrive!
Bathrooms crowded? Try the ones by the food court. Follow the sign for "toilets" near the back. They're terrific!
Must get something from Nuts on Clark if you didn't get any in Chicago downtown or at the ballpark.
Caitlin CarleMarch 26, 2011They're not big on chairs...or sitting spaces here. If you hae time, head to the central food area to sit or you'll be standing a lot.
Michael BrownNovember 16, 2013No Garrett Popcorn at Midway make sure to pick it up while you're downtown.
Use expert travel line, walk on moving walkways, and fly Southwest. That is all.
Faster to navigate through than O'Hare and much nicer.
Chris VanderReydenJune 23, 2024Still waiting to board the plane for LA. Originally a 720 boarding is now almost 10pm. 😭- If you need a place for a quickie, use the Men's bathroom off the food court!
TSA Pre check is the way to go. It's worth it any time of day - regular security check is always a long wait. Not because of TSA, just people galore, always!
mtnbkeAugust 21, 2010Southwest does it right! There is scarcity of outlets in this airport and they put in a bunch of seats with outlets at their gates!
Give yourself plenty of time. Once a great mid-size airport but now a monster.
Jeremy MalechaMay 3, 2013Literally THE WORST tsa screening In the US. I travel a ton. Get there early. On a Friday at 11am it took 1 hour from the end of line to clear the X-ray. Pay for business select
the phone room between security and C concourse is the best place to get some work down while between flights... power and usually quiet.
If you want some peace and quiet, hang out in the seating area between Terminals A and B!
Bakablonde TravelsDecember 22, 2011Southwest is the best they were really funny and had people smiling!
The moving walkway is NOT a place to rest your sorry BUTT - walk you need the exersize.
Gah, I sat on a slimy piece of green pepper. Unacceptable. Get it together midway.

"Amazing photos on the way to the station. Astonishing photos of the vast universe and nebulae. Science does a wonderful job of showing how amazing the universe is"

"Just before the concourse, Potbelly has GREAT prices for an airport. The sandwich was quite good."

"Gold Coast Dogs in the food court. Order a jumbo char dog Chicago style. These are the real thing!"
